Abstract
Cephalorhynchus hectori (Hectors dolphin) are an endangered species that are only found in New
Zealand waters (Reeves et al., 2013). Cephalorhynchus hectori maui (Māui dolphin) are a subspecies
of Hectors dolphin that inhabit the west coast of the North Island and are currently listed as critically
endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature red list (Reeves et al., 2013). Much
of their population decline is a result of human activity. To improve existing knowledge on the
distribution of Māui and Hectors dolphin, spatial information was gathered using click detector
devices called C-POD’s. These were deployed at various locations along the West Coast of the North
Island. This report summaries data from the second deployment offshore from Manukau Harbour and
Taranaki regions. The location with the greatest number of high quality narrow-band high frequency
(NBHF) detections was found at Mooring 3 / POD 1534 located 5.4 nautical miles (nm) offshore from
Manukau coastline. Most of these detections were at the C-PODs located closer to the shore. This
included 5 DPM recorded at Mooring 2 during December and then a total of 8 DPM at M3 and M4
during January. There were no detections made on the C-POD deployed at Motunui / POD 2718. A
total of 11 detective positive minutes (DPM) were made at Tongaporutu on POD 2720 during the
month of April and July. The data suggests that Māui dolphins tend inhabit waters closer into shore
and venture as far south as Taranaki. There was also a general trend that the detections were made
during night time hours. Further research is required to increase understanding of the distribution of
this species.

Introduction
The coastal waters of New Zealand are home to many marine mammal species, including
Cephalorhynchus hectori (Hectors dolphin) which inhabit the coastal waters around the South Island
of New Zealand (Dawson et al., 2004: Slooten et al., 2004, 2005). A small population of this species
has been isolated in the west coast region of the North Island, having now evolved slightly different
physiology and genetic makeup to the main southern population. This population is Cephalorhynchus
hectori maui (Māui dolphin) and has been recognised as a subspecies of Hectors dolphin since 2002
(Baker et al., 2002, 2012). Māui dolphin are the smallest and rarest dolphin subspecies in the world
and are listed as Nationally Critical under the NZ Threat Classification System and as Critically
Endangered under the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List Categories and
Criteria (Baker et al. 2016; Reeves et al. 2013). Estimates have suggested that 95.5% of human-
induced mortality in Māui dolphins is due to trawling and by-catch from gillnetting (Calderwood,
2014). Since the introduction of gill nets into New Zealand waters in the 1960’s, there has been a
significant population decline from an estimated 1500 to the current estimate of 63 (95% CI 57 – 75)
individuals (Baker et al. 2016). Their home range used to be anywhere from Cook Strait to Ninety
Mile Beach but are today only found from Maunganui bluff to New Plymouth (Slooten et al., 2005).
Māui dolphin are slow breeders, with each female giving birth to one calf every 2-4 years, resulting in
a low population growth of 2% per year (Department of Conservation, 2017a). They are in need of
conservation intervention in order to avoid their expected extinction in the next 20-26 years (Burkhart
and Slooten, 2003).
The first Threat Management Plan for Hector’s and Māui dolphins was implemented in 2008 to
ensure the long-term survival of their population by reducing impacts from human activity (Currey et
al. 2012). The Māui dolphin portion of the Threat Management Plan was later reviewed in 2012 after
four public sightings of these dolphins in the Taranaki coastal area. In the 2012 review, the updated
Potential Biological Removal analysis estimated that Māui dolphin population could only sustain one
human-induced mortality every 10 - 23 years without affecting the population’s ability to rebuild to a
sustainable level (Hamner et al. 2014). The current restrictions and prohibitions in the Taranaki
coastal area is enforced under the Fisheries Act 1996 and the Marine Mammals Protection Act 1978.
The Marine Mammal Sanctuary extends out to 12 nautical miles offshore from Maunganui Bluff to
Oakura Beach (Parliamentary Counsel Office, 2018; see Appendix A). This sanctuary includes
restrictions on mining, with prohibition out to 2 nautical miles along the length of the Marine
Mammal Sanctuary and out to 4 nautical miles from Manuka harbour to south of Raglan Harbour
(New Zealand Gazette, 2012: Fisheries New Zealand, 2018: see Appendix A). Acoustic seismic
surveying in this area is also restricted and must abide by the Code of conduct for minimising acoustic
4
disturbance to marine mammals (New Zealand Gazette, 2012: Department of Conservation, 2017b:
see Appendix A). Along the west coast, there are also restrictions on set netting. From Maunganui
Bluff to Waiwhakaiho River commercial and recreational set netting is prohibited out to 7 nautical
miles (Parliamentary Counsel Office, 2018; see Appendix A and B). From Waiwhakaiho River to
Hawera commercial set netting is also prohibited out to 7 nautical miles unless an MPI observer is
onboard (New Zealand Gazette, 2012: see Appendix A and B).
In order to understand how we can best protect Māui dolphin, and increase their population to a
sustainable level, more long-term and extensive information must be gathered. This helps maintain
evidence for the current protection measures under the Threat Management Plan. Visual sightings of
Māui are rare due to the fact that these dolphins themselves are rare and that there are fewer visitors to
these remote and rough areas of coastline. Therefore, there is a need for a more reliable way of
detecting them. Underwater acoustic devices called C-PODs detect odontocete click trains in the
range of 20 – 160 kHz, which includes the high frequency (120 – 125 kHz) echolocation clicks that
Māui dolphin emit when foraging. This bioacoustic data is logged through all hours of the day and
night, and across long time periods. This gathers a much more extensive and informative data set as
compared to aerial surveys which are limited to short term collection and are financially expensive
and labour intensive. Information from this underwater acoustic technology can be used to determine
the extent of Māui dolphin occurrence and about the temporal and spatial distribution of these
mammals within their home range.
Aim
To investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of Māui dolphin in the Manukau and Taranaki
coastal areas using C-POD technology.
Methods
To investigate the occurrence of Māui dolphin along the West Coast of the North Island, C-PODs
devices were deployed at various sites. Each C-POD sits one to two meters above an attached float,
anchored by a 30 – 35 kilogram weight at the base (Fig. 1). This positions the C-POD approximately
three to four metres above the seabed.

For the second deployment operation, a total of five C-PODs were placed at increasing distances
offshore from Manukau coastline, south of Manukau Harbour entrance, on the 15th of November 2017
(Fig. 2). C-POD 1533 was placed at Mooring 2, located 4.32nm (8.0km) offshore. C-POD 1534 was
placed at Mooring 3, located 5.45nm (10.1km) offshore. C-POD 1560 was placed at Mooring 4,
located 6.53nm (12.1km) offshore. C-POD 1559 was placed at Mooring 6, located 8.7nm (16.1km)
offshore. C-POD 1298 was placed at Mooring 7, located 9.83nm (18.2km) offshore. Further details
are presented in Appendix C.
Two C-PODs were placed offshore of Taranaki region (Fig. 3). C-POD 2720 was placed 1.03nm
(1.9km) offshore from Tongaporutu. C-POD 2718 was placed 1.12nm (2km) offshore from Motunui.
Both C-PODs were deployed on the 15th of February 2018 and collected on the 3rd of July 2018.
Further details are presented in Appendix C.

Data Analysis
The data from each C-POD was downloaded and verified using C-POD.exe 2.064 software. The data
was processed using the KERNO classifier and the train filter set to high quality. These filters
improve the classification of detections and allow discrimination between species based on their click
parameters. The KERNO classifier groups the data into four categories; Narrow Band High
Frequency clicks (NBHF), Other cetaceans, Sonar, and Unclassified source (e.g. Weak Unknown
Train Sources). Māui dolphin have high frequency, narrow-band clicks (NBHF) with frequencies of
between 120 - 125 kHz (Thorpe & Dawson, 1990). It is likely that the NBHF clicks are Māui
dolphin’s echolocation clicks.
The data were then manually analysed by looking through the file and ensuring the classifications
were correct with any false positives being re-classified. Through the verification process M4 had
32% of clicks removed from the total number of high quality NBHF clicks that were identified from
the initial KERNO classification. M6 had 72% removed and M2, M3 and M7 had 0% removed. The
8
verified data from all C-PODs was exported as detection positive minutes (DPM). The verified data
was then run through Matlab software to produce click plots.

Discussion
Current research is largely focused on Māui dolphin distribution within their core range. However,
previous studies have given some insight into the overall distribution of this small population. For
example, Oremus (2012) concludes that for the summer months of February and March, Māui dolphin
have a small frequently used core area including two areas of high density; south of Manukau
Harbour, offshore from Hamilton’s Gap and south of the Waikato River mouth. Results gained from
the first deployment report agree with Oremus’s (2012) results, showing higher densities of detections
recorded at the Hamilton’s Gap C-POD from the first deployment data and at M2 and M3 from both
deployment one and two data. However, the first deployment had much higher DPM values in the C-
PODs closer in to shore than in the second deployment. These higher amounts of detections may
indicate higher numbers of Māui dolphin in these regions closer to the coastline.
One aim of this research was to determine the extent that Māui dolphin occur offshore. The first
deployment found this offshore extent to be 14km, whereas this report for the second deployment
finds evidence for detections as far as 18km offshore. Data from the second deployment found
detections at M6 and M7, whereas deployment one found none at these moorings.
The first deployment also found no detections on the C-PODs deployed in Taranaki coastal area.
However, data from the second deployment shows a reasonable number of detections (11 DPM) at the
C-POD placed offshore from Tongaporutu. These detections were found from April to June, with no
detections from January to March. In the Manukau C-PODs, the highest amount of detections was
recorded in the month of January. This may indicate a seasonal movement of Māui at the end of
summer, down to the area of Taranaki. However, current data from the Department of Conservation
sightings database shows no such trend, with a biased towards summer months across all regions due
to more people being out on the water (Department of Conservation, 2018). In order to better
understand whether these movements are significant, more research is required to be carried out over
longer periods of time.
As consistent with the first deployment, there if a general trend that detections from all C-PODs were
made during night time hours. This may indicate a behavioural diurnal pattern, where Māui dolphin
inhabit more coastal waters (e.g. Hamilton’s Gap) during day time hours and move out towards
slightly more offshore locations during night time hours. More research is needed in this area to better
understand this pattern to determine whether it is significant and the possible reasons for this
behaviour.

Limitations:
The main limitation to this research is that we cannot differentiate between Māui and Hector’s
dolphin with sound data alone, as both emit similar eco-location clicks. Genetic sampling needs to be
taken alongside this data in order to determine this. The results of this study are dependent on all these
NBHF detections being Māui/Hectors dolphin. Given that there are no other marine mammals in New
Zealand waters that emit such high frequency sound, it is safe to assume this. C-POD detections are
also unreliable if the C-POD is not orientated in an upright position (see Appendix C). The C-PODs
that had NBHF detections all were in various states of being off the vertical axis, due to wave action.
When taking into consideration the angle of the C-POD, this decreases the reliability of the data
gained in this study. All detections presented in this report have been verified through critical analysis
of the C-POD angle and physical characteristics of the click data (including frequency, bandwidth,
inter click rate, envelope etc.). High quality NBHF detections from the KERNO classification process
that did not confidently satisfy all the critical factors required were removed from the data.
Another limitation was the fact that not all C-PODs were able to be collected on the same date, and
therefore each have a slightly different time period of data recordings, making comparisons between
mooring locations difficult. This was unavoidable due to weather conditions affecting planned C-POD
retrieval dates.
